My Hero Academia is a smash-hit superhero anime series with an ensemble cast of colorful characters, literally and metaphorically. The heroes and villains of My Hero Academia have outstanding visual designs with their flashy hero costumes, their fascinating mutations, and even their hairstyles and hair color. These are some truly expressive anime characters.
Pro heroes sometimes use unique hairstyles or accessories to stand out, and some characters' hair patterns actually allude to their Quirks or personalities, such as the heartbeat pattern in Kyoko Jiro's hair. Then there are plenty of My Hero Academia characters who have bright blond hair to match their lively personalities. Blond anime characters never fail to stand out in a scene.
10 Denki Kaminari Has Harnessed Lightning
Even if Denki Kaminari ranks last in his class where test scores are concerned, this electric student hero makes up for it in other ways. Even if he can't study well, Denki often excels in practical exams and simulated battles, including his fine performance in the Joint Training story arc against class 1-B's own team.
Denki relies heavily on his offensive Quirk, which allows him to discharge devastating blasts of electricity against his foes. He's known for overloading his brain this way, but he has since learned to use his powers with more precision and boost his battlefield endurance.
9 Pony Tsunotori Is A Ranged Horse Hero
Class 1-B is home to two foreign heroes, including the lovely American student Pony Tsunotori, who speaks both English and Japanese. She is a cheerful and enthusiastic trainee hero who fought hard in the joint training battle, and she was also smart enough to cut her losses and force a tie against Mezo Shoji.
Pony has a horse theme with her hero costume and her ability to quickly run on all fours. She can also fire the large horns on her head as projectile weapons, or even levitate them in the air like hoverboards. She can stand on those horns to float in the air if necessary.
8 Ryukyu Is An Excellent Mentor
The dragoon hero Ryukyu ranks among the top 10 pro heroes in all of Japan, and she is admirably humble about that fact. Ryukyu would rather let her superheroics speak for themselves, including her ability to train students three at a time. Most pro heroes couldn't handle three interns at once, but Ryukyu can.
Ryukyu personally trained Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Nejire and helped them form a team. Meanwhile, during missions, Ryukyu can use her Quirk to morph into a scaled dragon-like creature to crush her villainous foes under her clawed paws. The Overhaul hideout raid was a good example of Ryukyu in action.
7 Himiko Toga Is An Unforgettable Rogue Villain
One of the most compelling villains in My Hero Academia is the bloodthirsty shapeshifter Himiko Toga. While she is definitely a criminal who must be brought to justice, Himiko is also oddly sympathetic, since she couldn't help being born with a blood-based Quirk that everyone else found repulsive. She's just being herself.
The blonde villain Himiko is also like an evil Ochaco Uraraka, a cheerful girl who aspires to be just like her role models and find true love. She once idolized Stain the hero killer before falling in love with Izuku and Ochaco instead.
6 Present Mic Is The DJ Hero
Present Mic is one of the most amusing and stylish pro heroes who works at the UA school as a teacher. He is the school's English teacher, but he has a lot more fun when he fights his students in mock battles or when he works as a DJ or announcer for events. It's all about his voice.
Present Mic isn't all fun and games, though. This goofy blond hero turns serious when he and his longtime friend, Eraserhead, must deal with Kurogiri, the villainous Nomu who was built from Shirakumo's remains.
5 Hawks Is Justice On Wings
The new #2 pro hero is the youthful blondie Hawks, a highly mobile and quick-moving hero whose feathers are far more than just a means of flying around. Hawks' feathers can also serve as swords in battle with their sharp edges, and Hawks can use them to sense vibrations in the air and hear people's voices from afar.
In the story, Hawks served as a double agent who posed as a turncoat hero who had joined the Meta Liberation Army. It's risky going undercover like that, but Hawks is up to the job, and he even snuck out a warning message to his ally, Endeavor, with a book.
4 Best Jeanist Weaponized Denim
Another top-ranked blond pro hero is the tall, serious Best Jeanist, who wears a denim hero costume from head to foot. That all-denim costume may look strange, but its threads are perfect for Best Jeanist's Quirk, which allows him to manipulate clothing fibers, most of all denim.
Best Jeanist was the one who trained Katsuki Bakugo on the job, though it doesn't seem like Bakugo learned much from him. Soon, Best Jeanist stood up to All For One himself, but he was soon injured and taken out of the fight.
3 Mirio Togata Never Lost Hope
The most powerful and accomplished UA student, Mirio Togata, has the heart of a true hero. He swore to save one million lives, hence his hero name, Lemillion. He didn't lose hope even when he lost his Permeation Quirk in the battle against the villainous Overhaul. He would much sooner lose his Quirk than lose Eri.
Mirio hasn't done a whole lot since then, though he and Izuku do serve as Eri's unofficial big brothers, and they make sure to keep Eri safe and happy here at UA. In fact, Eri sat on Mirio's shoulders to watch class 1-A's rock performance at the school festival.
2 Katsuki Bakugo Is Spoiling For A Fight
Izuku's childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo, has a nasty temper and a ruthless competitive streak, all of which make him difficult to get along with. His pointed, ash-blond hair almost looks like an explosion on his head, a hairstyle he inherited from his kind mother, Mitsuki.
Bakugo's hair didn't stay down for long when Best Jeanist combed it. His hair soon spiked back out, and Bakugo wouldn't have it any other way. In battle, meanwhile, Bakugo leaves his pointed blond hair exposed, wearing an eye mask instead of a full helmet like Ingenium or Mudman.
1 All Might Is Tall & Blond
The invincible symbol of peace himself, All Might, has a surprisingly deceptive appearance. His muscle form is more like an organic costume he can put on and take off, and his true form is shockingly thin and frail. But he would much rather hide that skinny form from the public to maintain his image.
All Might's heroic heart and dazzling blond hair are totally authentic, though. He has always been a blondie, even in his student days, and he has always yearned to save absolutely everyone with a hopeful smile on his face. And he succeeded.
